recover tapes on an alternate master

Hi,

We are in a situation that we have on one site a NB master server with a
desktop tape drive (no barcode reader).
In case of a DR I need to be able to restore the tape on our DR site.
This DR site has a master server and a desktop tape drive as well.

Can someone tell me what the best way is to do this, or can you point me
to some documentation?

Thanks in advance.

Re: recover tapes on an alternate master

Depending on your setup:

a) if you have a slave server, you can promote it to a master , you will
need to either import the tapes or bring the images accross.
b) if you intend to restore the whole of netbackup onto another server, all
you then need is your backup of the database, which you should have scheduled
automatically. One option ofcouarse, is to have this database written to
disk and via a cron job ftp it to your target server so its there ready to
go
Email me if you need further elaboration. but let me know what your scenario
is.
